Contributor-level stored XSS via unescaped shortcode attributes
Published Feb 19, 2026 · Updated Feb 19, 2026
Stored XSS in Xakuro XO Event Calendar 3.2.10 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts via xo_event_field. The xo_event_field shortcode handler accepts user-supplied attributes without sufficient sanitization and returns their values in generated page output without context-appropriate escaping. Contributor-level access is sufficient to store the payload, which executes in visitors' browsers whenever an affected page is viewed.
